LANSING — A system of thunderstorms is moving across Michigan, and forecasters say it could bring severe weather to much of the Lower Peninsula, including the Lansing area.

Thunderstorms are expected throughout the capital region Tuesday, and the National Weather Service says they may bring with them dangerous lightning, damaging winds and large hail. Heavy rainfall could lead to some flooding, too.

Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to continue overnight and through much of the rest of the week. On Wednesday, the National Weather Service forecasts the possibility of more severe weather, but no more the rest of the week.

High temperatures are predicted to be in the low-80s and upper-70s for the rest of the week as storms move through the Lansing area.
